Research & Planning - Double Page Spread Analysis

NME Double Page Spread

Genre:

     This double page spread emphasises the genre of alternative music with its use of a querky, yet bold font for the main heading which really catches the reader's eye as it takes up most of the double page spread.  Once again the colour scheme of red, white and black is stuck to by using red to highlight certain parts of text and also in Lilly Allen's clothing. 

Representation:

     The Mid-shot and pose of Lilly Allen gives off Lilly's attitude to maybe the the press, which links well to the newspaper-cutting font style or even the readers, indicating her laid-back  lifestyle and letting us know how she doesn't care what people think.  The use of the white background on this spread brings all of the attention to Lilly and the text yet it still has an almost 3D feel to it as the headline is placed slightly infront of Lilly, linking the two together.

Audience:

     The audience that is attracted to this magazine is anyone interested in Lilly Allen and/or her music,anyone who is interested in Alternative music and musicians.

Media Language:

     This double page spread uses a mid-shot of Lilly Allen and when this is combined with her pose, the colour scheme of black, white and red and a large, bold headline like the one featured,  it gives off a strong, independant feel with maybe even a hint of mischeviousness.
